Smart Door Locks in Dubai & UAE: 2027 Buying Guide

A smart door lock lets you open your door with your phone, smartwatch, fingerprint or a PIN, share digital keys and see who came and went. This guide covers what to look for in Dubai and the rest of the UAE, and which Tedee setup fits your home.

1. Do you rent or own?

Renting: choose the Tedee GO2. It mounts on the inside of the door over your existing euro cylinder, with no drilling, so you can take it with you when you move.
Own your home or want the best: choose the Tedee PRO + Modular Cylinder. It is smaller, rechargeable and works with Apple Home.

2. How do you want to open the door?

Phone or smartwatch: included with every Tedee lock
Fingerprint or PIN: add the Tedee Keypad PRO, ideal for children, maids, cleaners and guests
From anywhere, plus Alexa or Google Home: add the Tedee Bridge

3. Will it fit my door?

Most apartment and villa doors in the UAE use a European (euro-profile) cylinder, which is what Tedee is built for. Inward-opening doors fit most easily; outward-opening doors need some clearance between the cylinder and the door frame. If you're unsure, send a photo of both sides of your door and its thickness on WhatsApp (+971 50 396 6436) and we'll confirm the right lock and cylinder size.

4. Installation

Tedee installs in under an hour, and many people do it themselves. If you'd rather not, our team installs for AED 150 in Dubai and AED 250 in other emirates, including the app setup.
